Diabetes Care
Diabetes is a long-term condition that needs regular monitoring rather than a single visit — small, consistent adjustments to medication and lifestyle make the biggest difference over time.
Type 2 diabetes develops when the body's cells become resistant to insulin or the pancreas cannot produce enough of it, leading to persistently high blood sugar. Left unmanaged over years, it can affect the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and heart — which is why regular follow-up matters as much as the initial diagnosis.
Management usually combines blood sugar monitoring, medication where needed, and practical lifestyle guidance around diet and activity, adjusted over time based on your readings and how you're responding.
Common Patient Concerns
- Increased thirst or frequent urination
- Unexplained fatigue
- A family history of diabetes and wanting to check your own risk
- An existing diabetes diagnosis that needs ongoing monitoring
- Slow-healing cuts or wounds
When to Consult a Physician
- You have symptoms such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, or unexplained weight loss
- A routine blood test has shown elevated blood sugar
- You have been diagnosed with diabetes and need ongoing management or a medication review
- You have risk factors (family history, higher body weight, age) and want to be screened

FAQs
Can type 2 diabetes be reversed?
Some people with early type 2 diabetes can bring their blood sugar into a normal range through sustained weight management and lifestyle changes, under medical guidance — but this varies by individual and is not guaranteed for everyone. It should always be discussed with your doctor rather than attempted alone.
How often should I get my blood sugar checked?
This depends on how well-controlled your diabetes is and what medication you're on — Dr. Gattewar will recommend a monitoring schedule specific to your situation at your consultation.
